I was just wondering. As intelligent people we seem to pride ourselves on seeing the drawbacks in everything.

I like oatmeal.

Actually I quite disagree with the original post. As an intellectual person, I pride myself on being able to find the positive aspects of nearly everything!!

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :

I don't pride myself in being able to find negative aspects to things I like. It's just that I'm not ashamed to, either. I'm also not ashamed to find positive aspects in things I don't like.

That said, here are a few things I like without reservation.

I like Vanilla Coke.

I like "Freaks and Geeks".

I like Questionable Content.

I like fish. Eating it, I mean. Though they're pretty cool alive, too.

I like that old time rock and roll.

I like strawberries.

I like chocolate pudding.

I like ice cream.

I like the feeling of grass on my bare feet.

I like the sound of waves against the side of a boat and the sound of ocean waves on the beach.

I like a cold beer on a hot day.

I like a really good steak.

I like the smell of a crisp autumn day.

I like unwrapping presents at Christmas.

Oh..I could go on and on

Posted by mothertree (Member # 4999) on :

I do agree that finding the good takes as much intelligence as finding the bad. I started this thread to try and say that in a nice way that doesn't attack anyone.

As I think about it more and more, I cannot think of a single thing I like without reservation.

Posted by Mike (Member # 55) on :

Al Forno. One of the best restaurants I've been to, but they don't accept reservations.

Posted by Belle (Member # 2314) on :

If you really put thought into it, that's hard.

I mean, I was going to say I like learning, and I do. But, can I really say I always like learning, in every circumstances? No, because I certainly didn't like learning my grandfather was dead.

I like chocolate, but I do have reservations about it because it's fattening.

I like sunshine, but not when I get sunburned.

That is really, really tough. I'll have to think.

The feeling of cuddling with my husband on a cold night.
